						The purpose of this object is for tracking sets of professional development activities. 
						It creates a high-level relationship between professional development activities for tracking training programs, 
						grant-funded professional development, or potentially individually created learning programs. 
						The case for interoperability is that financial systems and instructional systems need to be aware of professional development programs 
						for funding or alignment respectively.
